Extraordinary Magnitude
Are Announced.

Asheville, X. Nov. 10,-*—Plant; en
tailing the expenditure of nil ultimate
$4,000,000 in the creation of a vast
mountain lake and pleasure resort of ex
traordinary magnitude at Chimney Rock.
20 miles southeast of Asheville in the
heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, have
just been announced b.v Colonel Joseph
ll.vde Pratt, President of Western North
Carolina, Inc., this disinterested body gq
jng on record as wholeheartedly endors
ing a project of such signal proportions
and destined to have such a telling ef
fect upon the entire future growth and
prosperity of the I-and of the Sky.
Backing ('himney Rock Mountains,
Inc., as the project is to be known, are
some of the most prominent and infiuen
tiau business and professional men <tf
the section. They are as follows {' l)r.
l.ucius B. Morse. President of the Chim
ney Rock Company. Kenneth S. Manner,
Spindale, N. C„ owner and operates of
extensive cotton mill iuterestlK in Ruth
erford County: S. E. Efnore. also of
Spindale. head of the Elmore Company,
one of America’s leading mercerizing anil
dyeing concerns: It. B. Hoggett. connect
ed with largo cotton mill and lumber in
terests and president of the Farmers
Bank and Trust Company so Forest City;
J. H. Thomas. Vice-President and Exec
utive Officer of this bank at Forest City:
Hr. M, H. Biggs prominent surgeon of
Hutherfordton. These men fortti the nu
cleus of the Hon i'll of Directors which
will be extended to include many out
standing men throughout the South.
Jmke I.ure, ns this projected body of
water has been appropriately
mimed, will cover an area of- llsitfl neres,
and will present u winding, evcr-eutraiic
... iug share dine nf-SfJ-milr* a.iiiiittl whh-ti
will be found in wetl-planncd and artis
tic manner two large hotels with golf
links, cltrb house and other sports eitseu
tinns: bathing beach mid goheral resort
amusements; drives, wnlks and huulscaiie
gardens; colonies of homos with shady,
spreading lawns from which enchanting
vistas of the big lake will be had. All
this and more is in course of prepa
mtion in the comprehensive development
to be launched immediately by the Chim
ney Hock Mountains. Inc.
Already under option, the boundary
embraced in the proposed development
covers o,fioo' acres, the equivalent of 10
1-4 square miles, surrounding the fam
ous Chimney Roclt itself to which more
than 43,000 tourists journeyed during
the summer and fall of 1023, and takes
in the greater portion of Hickory Nut
(Jorge at its most precipitous stages.
Through the construction of a 100-
foot concrete dam upon the Rocky Broad
Bivcr at a point below the present bridge
crossing to the winding Chimney Risk
Hoad, it will be possible to form this big
. lake. Its formation will submerge some
three and one half miles of the Wilming
ton-Charlotte-Asheville Highway this por
tion of which forms an officially charted
side trip from the fatuous Dixie Highway.
Permission lias already been granted by
the State Highway Contmissiou, without
a dissenting voice, to take oxer- this part
of the State system with the provision
that an equally good highway skirting
I.alte Lure be constructed by the corpor
ation. The building of such a highway,
six miles in length, together with the
building of the dam, will therefore consti
tute one of the very first procedures of
Chimney Rock Mountains, Inc.
Not only will Lake Lure be stocked
with game fish upon its creation, but
will also lie maintained as a sportsman’s
paradise through the establishment of
fish hatcheries by the company, so that
* lake and adjacent mountain streams will
always tempt wielder of roil and reel.
A feature of decided interest is the
proposed construction of a precipice ele
vator to convey passengers from the base
of the Chimney at what is now the park
ing place, all the way to the top of the
high precipice that towers far above the
' famed sentinel of stone. Plans likewise
call for incline railways and other devel
opment adapted to such a precipitous ter
rain.
There will be some 4,000 acres of land
that will be laid uot along high class res
idential pary lines, ns a great subdivis
ion. In connection with the full beau
tification Os these grounds it is proposed
to establish nurseries for the pfopogation
of ornamental trees and shrubs.
N With the dual purpose of makiug it
self suitable for both, conventions and
outing parties, there will be constructed
a large auditorium upon u site of special
vantage. A business civic center will
constitute a part of the project, the ar
chitecture being carefully planned to se
cure the most pleasing ■ effects.
Water power, which will be developed,
in large quantity by the building of the
dam, will be utilized for local 'consump
tion, sail Kite surplusage marketed.
Abundant illumination, however, is plan
ned to lend increased attractiveness to
the festive night life at this new and
larger Chimney Rock playground.
Wuter spirts of all descriptions are to
bo fostered upon the lake which will be
fully equipped with pleasure boats of va
rying eapahity together witli motor taxi
-boat service, row boils, sail boats, and
other craft.

Armistice Day Message
BY JOHN R. QUINN
NATIONAL COMMANDER, AMERICAN LBOIOX
Written Especially for Tribune and NEA Service
Five years ago today the war ended—officially. However, it lias not
really ended, nor can it epd until the principles for which our soldiers
fought have been fulfilled to the utmost.
IMs fitting that on this day we should rededieate omndvox to “carry
ing on by solemn declaration within our owu consciences. To do your
pari today in this re-pledging so principle, pause
a for a moment and recall the priueifile's for which
jpir men wout willingly to the chance of death—
j many to die.
I Y’ou remember the phrase on ttysir lips and in
; their hearts: “a war to end war." Y|t wars are not
; ended. They w#nt beyond the sea*®nto n hell of
death and destruction ttytt their As and daugh
ters and the sous and daughters oMlheir brothers
might be spared a like horror in .tiinf to comp. Yet
today there is no guarantee, no certainty that an
other war will uot be forced upon this nntinn. or any
nation, as shine future time.
The American i-egion pledged itself at its last
annual convent ion to strive unceasingly for peace.
This does uot mean that we have join is 1 the ranks
of thorp- so-called pacifists of war-time memory.
1 Far from it. As long as conditions may make war
QI’INN necessary to protect our nation from aggression or
. oppression, we stand ready, nay, anxious, to answer
the call to arms, ilut xve Strike toward an era when aur liation;und all
nations may live and fulfill their destinies without injustice, oppression
or the necessity to protect themse ves from such by force.
The American I.egion pledged itself to no one plan to end war.
Neither does it ask that you do so. It is a question upon which opinions
differ; each must act according to his belief.
But we do ask that you, upon this Armistice Day, take solemn resolve
that you will leave no act undone or word unsaid that may advance,
ovpn in the smallest degree, tiie era of perpetual peace. You may not
have the opportunity of speaking from a platform, but this does not
excuse you. If you have one neighbor, one friend, whom you can con
vert to tiie cause of peace and fail to do so. tlfen you have not kept
faith with those who "sleep in Flanders Field.”
There is an organization, international, of lighting men of the allied
armies. This organization has declared that. An re brothers in arhis,
they are today brothers in peace. Nearly every nation which stood
side b.v side in the World War is represented. Here is a nucleus. But
the nucleus is not sufficient in itself. It requires the Active help of
world opinion. When tiie demand for perpetual peace is made. THE
business, THE most urgent’ demand of every man. woman and child,
then will lasting peace come. ■,
I ash that NOW you solemnly enlist this greatest cause of all time,
the ending of war. Thus, and thus only, can you keep faith with those
who kept faith with you in the time of your greatest need.

Some Cash Were Taken
From the Office Sometime
During the Night.

office litre was robbed late last night

postmaster is unable to say how much
these totalled. The robbers trampled
under foot, the registered mail, declining
it in their thievery. The police believe
experienced safe blowers committed the
robbery. The post office was entered
from the rear window, and acetylene
torches were used to open both vaults.
The door of the safe inside, and the
vaults were drilled and the safes rifled
with the exception of one inside com
partment in which the money order funds
were kept. Much of the amount taken'
was in cash. Lexington was warned
yesterday, as were other towns in this
section, that a band of bank robbers
was m tving toward this region from the
north. This warning came through the
banks. It is the theory of the police
that the post office was robbed by an
experienced group of this sort.

contributed even more than our share to
ward the accomplishment of these great
achievements." declared Hear Admiral W.
S. Ixing. United States Navy, a native of
North Carolina, addressing an assemblage
here today celebrating Armistice Day, on
the work accomplished by Americans iu
the World War. "No State in the I’n
iou has a prouder record of war service
than our own." continued the high nav
al officer, “and speaking as a naval of
ficer, I can tell you that the American
Navy is proud of North Carolina—that
it is proud, and that it always will be
proud to recount the deeds of its sons
who were enrolled in the Naval Service.
Individually and collectively, it is proud
of every limn-, woman and child who, in
those abysmal days of when file
black clouds of war were casting their
insidious shadows into our very souls,
rose to meet the crisis as rcn-bloo(led loy
al and courageous sons and daughters of

Academy; He also told of an earlier |
visit to Charlotte as ii member of the |

he marched in the parade celebrating the
signing of the ’ Mecklenburg Declaration’ j
of Independence. He paid high tribute j
to those who had through their energy j
built the city to its present position in
the business life Os the South and de- i
elared it was a source of much pride to |
see such material evidences all about of
the prosperity of North Carolina.
"In point of fact, and contrary to a
widespread opinion, the primary duty of
your navy is to save life and property
by preventing war rather than to de
stroy. If you will give this matter a
little serious thought, you will realize
the absolute truth of this statement.
Our Navy has never been and I hope
never will be used for purposes of ag
gression, but I could tell you hundreds
and even thousands' of eases where It
has been and is being used to protect
American lives and American invest
ments.”
As examples of what the American
navy does in peacetime the office cited
the Japanese earthquake as an example
of what the navy had done in a humani
tarian way, the work of the navy at
the time of the destruction by tire of
the city of Smyrna and of the rescue of
the crew and passengers of the French
military transport Vinh Long by the
American destroyer Bainbridge. He ad
ded that these were only three recent ex
amples of a long list which he might, cite
if the time permitted.
The admiral then went on to relate
the relation of the navy to commerce
declaring that few realized or even
thought of the navy with relation to the
business life of the nation but that it
was a really important factor. ,
